Event Rental FAQ

What parking is available with my reservation?

Weekend events and all evening events after 5:00 pm will be permitted to park at metered spaces in the University lot on the corner of First and Peabody, located directly northwest of Memorial Stadium. For larger events and events that are not during this time, other parking options are arranged.

How do I reserve a space within Memorial Stadium for my event?
